Customer reviews about Eminence Swamp Thang 12" 150/8 Ohm

Full, rich, excellent.

LouisC 10.08.2016

I bought the Swamp Thang to replace the stock Eminence-made speaker in a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue, as I found that stock speaker to lose clarity at higher volumes, tend towards a rather shrill high-end even with very low treble settings, and become very flubby and distort quite easily.

The Swamp Thang remedies all of these issues. The bottom end is tight and powerful and never gives in to flub (this speaker handles bass frequencies extremely well, I've played bass through it, and some rather extreme sub-frequency octave effects, and none of those frequencies seem to just "disappear" as they do with many standard electric guitar amp speakers ? Eminence actually state on their site that this amp can handle 7-string and bass guitar easily), the mids are clear and punchy, and the highs are actually manageable now.

If you're looking to retain an "American" tone for a Fender amp, whilst vastly improving sound quality and volume efficiency, I highly recommend this speaker.

Speaker with the balls!

Vetrodar 11.11.2020

Has its own unique style and character. Excellent sounding clear mids, good sustain, punch & breakup, cutting through upper mids and high frequencies. It is perfectly readable in the mix, giving a distinct stable roar on the power chords and lingering single notes. Moreover, it mixes well with other English speakers, complementing the overall picture.

Bought a long while ago

Lyndos 07.07.2020

Forgot to review these. They are used in my 1971 Fender Twin, which has been partially 'Black-faced', and took over from the JBL D120F pairing which needed re-coning. They have slightly less of the harsh highs of those speakers, but still offered the clarity higher up, and the weight in the low end was wonderful. I'd highly recommend these as an upgrade for a Fender Twin of this vintage.

A serious upgrade for a blues junior amplifier

Paul VIGKOS 15.11.2023

Yes a great speaker a bit heavy but sounds more thick with rich lows and mids and without sacrifice of the highs.
My previous experience with eminence speakers proved me right.
Get it ASAP

Super upgrade pour mon ampli combo Fame GX60R

Upgrade GX60R 07.08.2024

J'ai acheté ce haut parleur pour remplacer celui de mon ampli combo de 60 watt (entrée de gamme). Je ne suis vraiment pas déçu, mon ampli est passé à un tout autre niveau. Le son est super clean et chaud quand il faut et accepte super bien le gain pour cruncher tout en gardant une bonne définition. Si vous êtes comme moi et hésitez entre upgrader votre ampli d'entrée de gamme et en acheter un nouveau, je vous conseille de tenter l'expérience, car pour une fraction du prix d'un nouvel ampli, on obtient un son qui n'a rien à envier aux ampli de 800€ et plus.

Bonne équipe

Anonymous 24.11.2015

For my Musicman HD one thirty I needed a sufficient speaker. I used to work with the Vox AD212 cab but I sold that one.
So I bought an empty Palmer 112 cab, put a metal grill in front of it, bought and mounted the Swamp Thang. Now the Musicman just breezes in all its force and splendour.
This speaker is sheer music, that is how happy I am.

Replacement Speaker

Lotr2 12.07.2019

I bought this as a replacment speaker for my Fender Bules Junior, for me it was the right choice, Just perfect for the sound I was looking for, Nothing that I did'nt like about this speaker, It's very loud, and very sweet sounding, I think It's the perfect choice for a Blues Junior. Thoman sell lots of replacement speakers and if the Swamp Thang does'nt do it for you they have a fantastic returns policy, Customer Service was superb as usual.
